A 17-year-old male from where? 5'10 is short for a caucasoid male but tall for an asian male. You could possibly reach 6'2 but no one can say for sure. Unless you began puberty late, you most likely don't have much growing left to do. There are also more than genetic factors that determine height.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average height for an adult male in the United States is:
5 feet 9.2 inches
You can plan on growing another half inch.
Most people double their height from when they were 24 months.

Genetics can be a tricky thing to guess on.
5'10 is a good height for a 17 year old..you have some more years to grow though..so I do not think you have stopped yet.

It's about average. And if you could get to 6'2" or not depends mostly on your parents heights. But most likely if you get any taller it won't be by much.

you are already the height of the average male, but most of us don't really stop growin until we are twenty two.
Try this. Measure the with of your arms from fingertip to fingertip. On average the length of that measurement should be equal to your final height unless you have a gland problem or stunted growth.

Sure, it's possible. You're only 17, so you probably have a bit more growing to do.
Women love the tall ones.

It could happen, you're still growing, i am 18 and am 6'0 but i really am hoping for 6'1 or 6'2 i know its just one inch but i want that extra inch, it'll make me feel better.

Don't be silly, it has nothing to do with hair colour. Your are at the high end of average. You might grow a bit more but maybe not. So what?

Not nowadays. All my 3 children grew taller than me and my husband...the only 6' tall relative on either side of my husband's or my biological family was my father, so my children inherited their height from my father [their grandfather].

You could, but not likely. You are probably only going to get 1-2 inches taller,
